1 And|strong="G2532" after|strong="G3326" five|strong="G4002" days|strong="G2250" the|strong="G2532" high|strong="G2532" priest Ananias came|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" with|strong="G3326" certain|strong="G5100" elders|strong="G4245", and|strong="G2532" with an|strong="G2532" orator|strong="G4489", one|strong="G5100" Tertullus|strong="G5061"; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" informed|strong="G1718" the|strong="G2532" governor|strong="G2232" against|strong="G2596" Paul|strong="G3972".
2 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1096" called|strong="G2564", Tertullus|strong="G5061" began|strong="G1096" to|strong="G2532" accuse|strong="G2723" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", Seeing|strong="G1223" that|strong="G3588" by|strong="G1223" thee we|strong="G2532" enjoy|strong="G5177" much|strong="G4183" peace|strong="G1515", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" by|strong="G1223" thy|strong="G4674" providence|strong="G4307" evils are|strong="G3588" corrected for|strong="G1223" this|strong="G3588" nation|strong="G1484",
3 we|strong="G2532" accept it|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" ways and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" places|strong="G3837", most|strong="G4183" excellent|strong="G2903" Felix|strong="G5344", with|strong="G3326" all|strong="G3956" thankfulness|strong="G2169".
4 But|strong="G1161", that|strong="G2443" I|strong="G1473" be|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" further|strong="G4119" tedious|strong="G1465" unto|strong="G1909" thee, I|strong="G1473" entreat|strong="G3870" thee to|strong="G2443" hear us|strong="G2249" of|strong="G1909" thy|strong="G4674" clemency|strong="G1932" a|strong="G1909" few words|strong="G4935".
5 For|strong="G1063" we|strong="G1063" have|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" a|strong="G2532" pestilent|strong="G3061" fellow, and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" mover|strong="G2795" of|strong="G2532" insurrections among|strong="G2596" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453" throughout|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2532" world|strong="G3625", and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" ringleader|strong="G4414" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sect of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Nazarenes|strong="G3480":
6 who|strong="G3739" moreover|strong="G2532" assayed|strong="G3985" to|strong="G2532" profane the|strong="G2532" temple|strong="G2411": on|strong="G2902" whom|strong="G3739" also|strong="G2532" we|strong="G3739" laid|strong="G2532" hold|strong="G2902":
8 from|strong="G3844" whom|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G3739" wilt be|strong="G1410" able|strong="G1410", by|strong="G3844" examining him|strong="G3739" thyself, to|strong="G1410" take|strong="G1410" knowledge|strong="G1921" of|strong="G4012" all|strong="G3956" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3956", whereof|strong="G3739" we|strong="G2249" accuse|strong="G2723" him|strong="G3739".
9 And|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Jews|strong="G2453" also|strong="G2532" joined|strong="G4934" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" charge, affirming that|strong="G3588" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778" were|strong="G3588" so|strong="G3779".
10 And|strong="G5037" when|strong="G1510" the|strong="G1537" governor|strong="G2232" had|strong="G3972" beckoned|strong="G3506" unto|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G3004" speak|strong="G3004", Paul|strong="G3972" answered|strong="G3004", Forasmuch|strong="G4012" as|strong="G3004" I|strong="G3778" know|strong="G1987" that|strong="G3588" thou|strong="G4771" hast|strong="G4771" been|strong="G1510" of|strong="G1537" many|strong="G4183" years|strong="G2094" a|strong="G1510" judge|strong="G2923" unto|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" nation|strong="G1484", I|strong="G3778" do|strong="G3004" cheerfully|strong="G2115" make my|strong="G1683" defence:
11 seeing|strong="G3754" that|strong="G3754" thou|strong="G4771" canst|strong="G1410" take|strong="G1410" knowledge|strong="G1921", that|strong="G3754" it|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" more|strong="G4119" than|strong="G4183" twelve|strong="G1427" days|strong="G2250" since|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" went|strong="G3739" up|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" worship|strong="G4352" at|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2419":
12 and|strong="G2532" neither|strong="G3777" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" temple|strong="G2413" did|strong="G4160" they|strong="G2532" find|strong="G2147" me|strong="G1473" disputing|strong="G1256" with|strong="G1722" any|strong="G5100" man|strong="G5100" or|strong="G2228" stirring up|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793", nor|strong="G3777" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" synagogues|strong="G4864", nor|strong="G3777" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" city|strong="G4172".
13 Neither|strong="G3761" can|strong="G1410" they|strong="G3739" prove|strong="G3936" to|strong="G1410" thee the|strong="G3739" things|strong="G3739" whereof|strong="G3739" they|strong="G3739" now|strong="G3570" accuse|strong="G2723" me|strong="G1473".
14 But|strong="G1161" this|strong="G3778" I|strong="G3739" confess|strong="G3670" unto|strong="G3004" thee, that|strong="G3754" after|strong="G2596" the|strong="G1722" Way|strong="G3598" which|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" call|strong="G3004" a|strong="G2532" sect, so|strong="G3779" serve|strong="G3000" I|strong="G3739" the|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316" of|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" fathers|strong="G3971", believing|strong="G4100" all|strong="G3956" things|strong="G3956" which|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551", and|strong="G2532" which|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" written|strong="G1125" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" prophets|strong="G4396":
15 having|strong="G2192" hope|strong="G1680" toward|strong="G1519" God|strong="G2316", which|strong="G3739" these|strong="G3778" also|strong="G2532" themselves|strong="G1519" look for|strong="G1519", that|strong="G3739" there|strong="G2532" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2192" resurrection both|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2532" just|strong="G1342" and|strong="G2532" unjust.
16 Herein|strong="G1722" do|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" exercise myself to|strong="G4314" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" conscience|strong="G4893" void of|strong="G1223" offence toward|strong="G4314" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" men|strong="G3956" alway|strong="G1275".
17 Now|strong="G1161" after|strong="G1161" many|strong="G4183" years|strong="G2094" I|strong="G1473" came|strong="G3854" to|strong="G1519" bring|strong="G4160" alms|strong="G1654" to|strong="G1519" my|strong="G1473" nation|strong="G1484", and|strong="G2532" offerings|strong="G4376":
18 amidst which|strong="G3739" they|strong="G1161" found|strong="G2147" me|strong="G1473" purified in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" temple|strong="G2413", with|strong="G3326" no|strong="G3756" crowd|strong="G3793", nor|strong="G3761" yet|strong="G1161" with|strong="G3326" tumult|strong="G2351": but|strong="G1161" there were certain|strong="G5100" Jews|strong="G2453" from|strong="G3756" Asia|strong="G3588"—
19 who|strong="G3739" ought|strong="G1163" to|strong="G4314" have|strong="G2192" been|strong="G2192" here|strong="G3918" before|strong="G1909" thee, and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G4314" make|strong="G2532" accusation|strong="G2723", if|strong="G1487" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" aught against|strong="G1909" me|strong="G1473".
20 Or|strong="G2228" else|strong="G2228" let|strong="G2228" these|strong="G3778" men|strong="G3778" themselves|strong="G3778" say|strong="G3004" what|strong="G5101" wrong-doing they|strong="G3588" found|strong="G2147", when|strong="G2147" I|strong="G1473" stood|strong="G2476" before|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1909" council|strong="G4892",
21 except|strong="G2228" it|strong="G3754" be|strong="G2228" for|strong="G3754" this|strong="G3778" one|strong="G1520" voice|strong="G5456", that|strong="G3754" I|strong="G1473" cried|strong="G2896" standing|strong="G2476" among|strong="G1722" them|strong="G1722", Touching|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" resurrection of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" dead|strong="G3498" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1473" called|strong="G3739" in|strong="G1722" question|strong="G2919" before|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5210" this|strong="G3778" day|strong="G4594".
22 But|strong="G1161" Felix|strong="G5344", having|strong="G1492" more|strong="G1492" exact knowledge|strong="G1492" concerning|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1161" Way|strong="G3598", deferred them|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", When|strong="G3752" Lysias|strong="G3079" the|strong="G1161" chief captain|strong="G5506" shall|strong="G1492" come|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597", I|strong="G1161" will|strong="G3004" determine|strong="G1231" your|strong="G3708" matter|strong="G2596".
23 And|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G2532" order|strong="G1299" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" centurion|strong="G1543" that|strong="G3588" he|strong="G2532" should|strong="G3588" be|strong="G2532" kept|strong="G5083" in|strong="G2532" charge, and|strong="G2532" should|strong="G3588" have|strong="G2192" indulgence; and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G2532" forbid|strong="G2967" any|strong="G3367" of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2398" friends|strong="G2398" to|strong="G2532" minister|strong="G5256" unto|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
24 But|strong="G1161" after|strong="G3326" certain|strong="G5100" days|strong="G2250", Felix|strong="G5344" came|strong="G3854" with|strong="G3326" Drusilla|strong="G1409", his|strong="G1519" wife|strong="G1135", which|strong="G3588" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G2532" Jewess|strong="G2453", and|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G1519" Paul|strong="G3972", and|strong="G2532" heard him|strong="G3588" concerning|strong="G4012" the|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" in|strong="G1519" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
25 And|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1161" he|strong="G2532" reasoned|strong="G1256" of|strong="G4012" righteousness|strong="G1343", and|strong="G2532" temperance|strong="G1466", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" judgment|strong="G2917" to|strong="G2532" come|strong="G1096", Felix|strong="G5344" was|strong="G1096" terrified|strong="G1719", and|strong="G2532" answered, Go|strong="G4198" thy|strong="G3588" way|strong="G4198" for|strong="G4012" this|strong="G3588" time|strong="G2540"; and|strong="G2532" when|strong="G1161" I|strong="G2532" have|strong="G2192" a|strong="G2192" convenient season|strong="G2540", I|strong="G2532" will|strong="G3195" call|strong="G2532" thee unto|strong="G1161" me|strong="G2192".
26 He|strong="G2532" hoped|strong="G1679" withal that|strong="G3754" money|strong="G5536" would|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" given|strong="G1325" him|strong="G3588" of|strong="G5259" Paul|strong="G3972": wherefore|strong="G1352" also|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" sent|strong="G3343" for|strong="G3754" him|strong="G3588" the|strong="G2532" oftener|strong="G4437", and|strong="G2532" communed|strong="G3656" with|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588".
27 But|strong="G1161" when|strong="G1161" two|strong="G1333" years|strong="G1333" were|strong="G3588" fulfilled|strong="G4137", Felix|strong="G5344" was|strong="G3588" succeeded|strong="G1240" by|strong="G2453" Porcius|strong="G4201" Festus|strong="G5347"; and|strong="G1161" desiring|strong="G2309" to|strong="G2309" gain favour|strong="G5485" with|strong="G4137" the|strong="G1161" Jews|strong="G2453", Felix|strong="G5344" left|strong="G2641" Paul|strong="G3972" in|strong="G1161" bonds|strong="G1210".
